United Way helps

Barrie Advance

BARRIE - After my dad was diagnosed with ALS, my family was able to focus on creating new memories with him during our cherished months left together, instead of being distracted by the endless details of his progressive illness.
United Way Greater Simcoe County gave us that gift by funding ALS Ontario’s local rep Sarah McGuire, who is a font of information, an advocate, a support-network leader, a shoulder, a friend. She was the glue that held our family and our sanity together.
If you donated to the local United Way campaign last year, you helped my family. Your money got to us – and it made a difference.
Your support also improves the lives of tens of thousands of your neighbours every year through the 22 Simcoe and Muskoka agencies supported by United Way’s grants and through its training and leadership programs.
Now, United Way Greater Simcoe County needs your help in reaching its current goal. If you haven’t already made a donation in this campaign, please consider one now. Donations can be made online (www.unitedwaygsc.ca) or by calling 705-726-2301, extension 2023.
